A lot of false propaganda has been posted on this site this year. As previously stated, the ride crews are permitted water.

Water is available for the crew.

The sharing of the Dining Plan options is not permitted by guests.

The Scrambler is celebrating 45 years of spins and smiles.

No they have added extensive brake runs Wrong! The Beast has had brakes in the same locations along the 7,359-foot long course since it made its debut April 14, 1979. If the trim brakes that some want to complain about were not in place the ride isn't celebrating its 35th anniversary season. I see first time Beast riders every day. They're absolutely blown away by this ride!

Stop it! Posting bogus information like this forces the park to field unnecessary calls, emails, Facebook and Twitter messages.

The Beast turned 35 today!

We are less than $9,000 away from $100,000!

The front row will be open for enthusiasts to ride during the event but if a member of the media needs to shoot a scene for a live hit or get reverse angle video, they would have the priority.

Excellent choice!

For those attending media day, the news media will have priority seating for the front to get the reverse angle footage they need for their stories. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

We're now only $12,000 shy of raising $100,000 for A Kid Again through the Scream for A Kid Again event!

We are $16,000 away from reaching $100,000 raised for the "Scream for A Kid Again" event to be among the first night riders on our new record-breaking Banshee roller coaster Thursday, April 17. A big thank you to those on this site that have registered and have met the minimum of $100 raised to participate in this event. For those who are not able to participate, you can still help by donating to someone that is participating simply by clicking on their name in the list of fundraisers located at the bottom of the Scream for A Kid Again information page. Every dollar received for this event helps to enrich the lives of children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Fundraising for this event ends this Sunday at midnight. Can we count on you as a member of the KIC community to help?

Interview with a show that airs nationally. The reporter for the feature was off to the right side of the camera asking questions. Our Town Magazine just did a great feature on The Beast's 35th anniversary.

Diamondback will not be part of the early rides lineup this year.

We are having a fundraiser to be the first night riders, Scream for A Kid Again. As of today more than $75,000 has been raised for the Greater Cincinnati chapter of A Kid Again.

How much worse than last year could it get? Diamondback gave 1,861,093 rides last year which represents the most rides given in one year on the tallest and fastest roller coaster at Kings Island.

We pointed it out months ago the ride would have an adjustable trim in that area.

The Racer is mentioned in this article of the business of building roller coasters.

There will not be any re-entry during the event. Everyone participating will need to be checked in and ready to head back to Banshee by 8:45 p.m. We will be closing the parking tolls at that time.

Soak City Dive-In movies will return this summer. The movie lineup and other details will be available on our website as we get closer to Soak City opening for the 2014 season.

Scream for A Kid Again participants may accrue more rides on the world's longest inverted roller coaster during the two-hour charitable event than Media Day attendees may be able to do in more than eight hours.
